50ml Seedlip Spice 94
125ml Tonic Water

It doesn't taste like gin - it tastes like aspirin. I suppose it would help stay off the dizzy juice.
What a find!
It’s the reason I’m still not drinking nearly three months later. I’ve been drinking this since Dry July so nearly 3 months. I mix it with diet tonic, ice and lemon. I like the unusual taste which is not for everyone I admit but it’s a treat for me in the evenings.
I took a bottle to lunch where we were brewing beer. Figured we should sat sober while we were hard at work. All the girls tasted this. Only one didnt like it... i this it is marvelous++
It's flavoured water. There's a lovely bit of marketing involved in calling it a non-alcoholic 'spirit', but if it ain't booze, it ain't spirit. Seedlip's "what to drink when you're not drinking" strapline is all about being part of the gang, being able to join in even though you're not imbibing. So that's how this product is positioned in the market: a ticket to social inclusion. This is water, dressed up as a gin-esque product for those who want the ceremony of cocktails without the alcohol, but rather than bottling an interesting cordial with real concentration of flavour, they've bottled water, flavoured lightly with clove-type spices and heavily with image. If you'd like a bottle of image for the price of a bottle of gin, crack on. This is a bottle of water, for north of twenty quid, so you can "feel like" you're drinking something fancy. A bottle of WATER.
